In a recent calibration campaign at the Pierre Auger Observatory, the directional and frequency characteristics of the radio stations equipped with logarithmic periodic dipole antennas (LPDAs) have been determined using a remotely piloted octocopter.

On August 17, 2017 the LIGO and Virgo collaboration measured a gravitational wave originating from a binary neutron star merger. Within 1.7 seconds, this event was followed by a gamma ray burst (GRB), recorded by the Fermi and INTEGRAL satellites, and subsequent electromagnetic observations in the optical and radio regimes. These observations made it possible for the first time to pinpoint the source location of a gravitational wave event. The source was found to be in a galaxy 130 million light years away, known as NGC 4993. According to model predictions such a system may also accelerate cosmic rays to extreme energies, and thus emit photons and neutrinos up to GeV to EeV energies.
